The fact your a bristling at being called a beginner, WHICH YOU ARE, is very telling.
The fact that asking you how you trained and who you trained with is angering you is very telling.
The fact that you don't like to be questioned about what you think is very telling.

Look, I was a hardheaded teen as were most people posting. In that same vein, I also know hardheaded teens color themselves in the most positive light.

I was a hardheaded teen and did Judo. Which meant I actually got my ass kicked in practice and in competition from early on in my training.

As opposed to working out at home and calling my self a street fighter.

OP, you need to get involved in some sort of full contact combat sport, as you yourself suggested might be a good thing (BJJ I think, boxing, wrestling, Judo, whatever.). That would give you a different perspective on things.

People here want to help you. Being men here (mostly) that might involve a little verbal harassment and **** giving. As a young man yourself, you might want to get used to that, because it's very common (as you may already know) in "real life".

Falling for Judo since 1980
